Products

locr maps are used for all kinds of marketing, personalized products and general cartographic applications.

Our GEOservices, GEOanalytics and Personalized Maps show you how.

  • Use the hidden geodata in postal addresses

  • Understand your customer’s journey

  • Connect people and places

Address Assignment

Assign the nearest sales location from a separate list to each record by using real navigation calculation. Define rules like assigning the next three locations within 10 miles around each address or the nearest shops from different categories.

Address Recognition

Validate your addresses using geocoding technology and find faulty records for further correction.

Travel Time

Give the estimated time to drive or walk from a recipient address to a destination or location in normal conditions.

Distance

Calculate the driving, walking or flight distance from every recipient address to a destination or location.

Turn-by-Turn Direction

Get turn-by-turn information in text or HTML format and include that in your marketing message.

Address Geocoding

Once recognized, your addresses  can be geocoded, adding latitude and longitude coordinates with rooftop precision. Records without exact addresses can still be geocoded to a street, intersection or postal code.

Reverse Geocoding

Convert geographic coordinates, like from a mobile device to the closest validated address.

Every map we create is unique

locr maps are designed to meet a variety of business goals. But they have one thing in common: whether you need a million personalized route maps for a direct mail campaign or a one-off art map to cover a wall, they are all unique and created on demand.

There are many different types, styles and formats to suit your application. Here are some of the options.

Choose the kind of map

Maps can be created as graphic images for printing or to use in emails or web pages. These can be LOCALmaps, NAVImaps or MULTImaps. They can also be created as videos which can zoom in and out and animate the progress of a journey.

These maps can be almost any size. We automatically calculate the scale and amount of detail on each one to get the best visual appearance, and we always ensure that street and places names are not clipped at the edges.

LOCALmaps

LOCALmaps show one or more locations near a recipient’s home or business address

NAVImaps

NAVimaps show the route from a recipient’s address to one or more locations

MULTImaps

MULTImaps combine a NAVImap with LOCALmaps in one image to show a route and the local area at the destination

VIDEOmaps

These maps can be almost any size. We automatically calculate the scale and amount of detail on each one to get the best visual appearance, and we always ensure that street and places names are not clipped at the edges.

Customize your map style

You have complete control over many features of the style and format of your personalized map. Our range of styles are designed for a variety of applications – direct mail, tourist guides, photobooks, art posters and more.

Choose one of our custom icons to mark locations on your maps or incorporate your own brand logo. Color icons and routes to suit your brand identity.

What makes every locr variable map unique is your data. Accurate maps need to have good quality postal addresses. We can help you achieve that level of quality with GEOservices.

This style is for colorful maps in which the major roads are strongly highlighted and terrain types are gently shaded for a 3D effect. They are more suited to larger areas to show the major routes between cities and towns as well as any custom coloring of a route in a NAVImap.

The coloring of all the main roads in this style is in familiar orange or yellow shades. When used for LOCALmaps or NAVImaps, any pins or custom routes in contrasting colors will clearly stand out.

This is a 2D style which flattens out the terrain shading and also reduces the contrast between background colors. It has been optimized by us to help brand logos and travel routes stand out very well. It is the most popular style for direct mail designs.

This style is adjusted to the coloring of the earth for a dramatic “satellite view” effect. It can be used to add interest in direct mail maps where there are longer distances or less urbanized areas involved.

For cartographic applications such as photobooks or tourism maps this style enhances the terrain of rural or wilderness areas. Altitude differences are highlighted in various color shades for a familiar world atlas display.
